Hanninmae no Koibito - Ch. 48

[MrSergio]

A lot of you are trying to defend Kyoko's jealousy here, but it really doesn't make much sense after the very recent events: they spent the night together and she's still insecure? Really?
It'd make sense if they only kissed at this point, but they both bared themselves to the other only a few in-universe days ago????

Sure, she's young and inexperienced--they both are--but that doesn't justify lacking some basic understanding of personal boundaries. The story seems to be pointing towards simple jealousy, but I'm still hopeful she's just sulking about being unable to discuss art with him and nothing more...

I guess you can make a faux pas just once, but if she ever falls for shit like this again...

There’s nothing to defend. She hasn’t done anything. She just is feeling simple jealousy. Having sex doesn’t change that, because this is something brand new and different. Like someone else said, seeing another girl be able to make Shintaro light up in a way he hasn’t with her is gonna bother anyone.

Most people*, maybe. Not "anyone".
That's just a result of not thinking about the matter from a different point of view, which is normal for teenagers, I guess.
I just hope it won't take her too long to realize how silly her way of thinking is, given the circumstances.

The only thing I do find strange is that, experienced or not, they're both at least 20yo iirc? Though maybe my expectations are too high...

 

[monkymeet]

I think they just started uni, and speaking from personal experience I was a total moron during uni

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

Sir. SIR. What is this? I specifically requested fluff.

just because she is overthinking huh...

Yeah, it's drama time. Up and down make relationship stronger and deeper, I hope this is the case.

We already got the updown relationship deepening chapter before this arc started tho

 

[TheMinester]

Okay I might be going against the wind here. Yes Kyoko is feeling insecure, but at the same time it's the 2nd time we've seen Shintarou down because she prioritizes other things like her work over moments they could spend together. I'm not saying it should or will go the ntr route because it won't but at the same time I hope this makes for a good growth spurt on Kyoko's part to treasure more their relationship. Might be just me but those Shintarou panels like the cold hands one just made think that maybe Kyoko is being portrayed as starting to take their relation for granted and now they're already like an old couple. So those chapters are made to make her realize that it's actually not the case (even if obviously Shintarou is head over heels for her).

 

[telefonevoador]

Oh wow, it's just so much happening for poor Ibuki and Kyoko...!

 

[Cashini]

oh cmon whyyy :'(

 

[Beregorn]

There is no misunderstanding, Kyoko is just insecure that a girl that probably likes his man has a lot of things in common with him, which suck but at the same time she can't lash out because nobody is doing anything wrong either.

She is insecure because she IS doing something wrong: it's the first time they have together in what, six months? and she is doing anything but spend it with him... If they spent more time together, she would KNOW that she has nothing to fear; maybe she will learn to not give him for granted.

Or maybe she will blow it WAY out of proportion and dump him because "she is so much better for him than me", who knows...
